Resetting Your Computer

In some cases where the 751G completely stops responding, it may be
necessary to perform a cold reset. Because cold resetting may result in data
loss, only use this method if all other recovery methods have failed.

To reset your computer, release the lower clip of the hand strap, remove the
battery pack, press the Reset button, then reinstall the battery pack.

This illustration shows the back of the 751G inside the battery compartment.

Scanning Bar Codes

Use the area imager to scan and enter bar code data. The 751G supports
reading 1D and 2D images. These bar code symbologies are enabled by
default on the 751G: Code 39, Code 128, UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, EAN-
13, and Datamatrix.

If you are using bar code labels that are encoded in a different symbology,
you need to enable the symbology on the computer. Use the Intermec
Settings applet to enable and disable symbologies. See the Intermec
Computer Command Reference Manual
available from the Intermec web site
at

.

Scanning with the Area Imager

The 751G has an area imager on the top of the unit that can scan 1D and
2D bar code symbologies. It also supports omni-directional (360°)
scanning where you can position the unit in any orientation to scan a bar
code label. Using the 2D imager is like taking a digital picture.

Note: Cold resetting deletes all programs and data stored in RAM
including the Object Store. Make sure data is backed up to your host
computer or a storage card before performing a cold reset.
